More Hard Truth About Dairy

You have just dined, and however scrupulously the slaughterhouse is concealed in the graceful distance of miles, there is complicity.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Okay, it’s time to face more hard truth about the factory dairy industry. A new investigation by Mercy For Animals shows unbelievable–just unbelievable–abuses at a dairy farm at Leprino Foods in New Mexico which is a supplier for Pizza Hut, Domino’s, Papa John’s. Yes, this is a hard video to watch. If you are squeamish about these kinds of images, muting your volume first might help, or read my tongue-in-cheek list of tips from a previous post. But please watch it.

If you can’t stand to watch it, I understand. But that doesn’t mean you can’t engage. Instead of watching, just quickly scroll down so the video is off screen. Below it you will find a petition to sign stating that you will boycott Pizza Hut, Domino’s, Papa John’s unless stricter animal abuse prohibition is put into practice. Signatures DO make a difference! Please sign it.

I know many of Life As a Wave readers are already aware of the lack of transparency in factory farming. I know many of you have taken steps to educate yourselves and to adopt humane lifestyles and diet. However, there are numerous people out there who still don’t know the suffering behind what they are eating. Some of them are your friends and family. They don’t know the connection between the meat and dairy industry or believe that they could “never stop eating cheese.” For their good, the animals’ good, and the Earth’s good, it is crucial that the facts about factory farming be shared and so that change can happen. So, please share it.
